You Want to Stay Rooted in Prayer—You Just Need the Rhythm.
The free Encounter app makes it simple to create a daily habit of Orthodox prayer with quiet reminders, guided prayers, and the wisdom of the Church—all in your pocket. You’ll go from unsure where to start to anchored in prayer three times a day—starting on day one.
When you don’t know what or when to pray, start here.
Many of us long for a deeper prayer life, but we’re not sure how to begin. We wait for the perfect moment, the perfect words, or the perfect level of discipline. And so we don’t begin at all.
Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be simple and flow from a place of gratitude, repentance, and the offering of our hearts to God.
The Encounter app gently guides you into a steady rhythm of Orthodox prayer, right in the middle of your real, everyday life. With morning, noon, and evening prayers—and reminders that meet you where you are—it becomes easier to turn to Christ again and again throughout the day.
